Please consider buying the Bug Barn some cages or crayons! That lets me use the savings to hire more undergraduates for hands on training.

Buy Nothing Day

Yes, it’s the time of the year when I’m dragged about and forced to celebrate holidays I don’t believe in, and with family and family-in-law I’m not keen on. (Some of you I like, though–don’t get paranoid.)

Anyway, since I’ll be on the road, and then in a post-turkey stupor, this is the only post for a bit. Remember that Friday is Buy Nothing Day!

I’ve never really seen the point of buy nothing day. Why? Some people like buying stuff, and some people like selling it. If you don’t like buying stuff, then you wouldn’t need a special day to not do it. Is it some sort of slap at stores for daring to offer low low prices? :)
